How long does the chin filler effect last?
The maintenance period of chin filler varies depending on the product and skin condition.In a study of 140 people using Restylane Defyne, the rate of jaw recession improvement of 1 grade or more was 74% at 48 weeks in the treatment group and 11% in the untreated group.
In a multicenter study using other fillers, an increase in chin volume was also observed at 12 weeks. Both studies were supported by the manufacturer.
Before further treatment, review your current appearance and any remaining filler with your doctor.
Can I improve my chin or jawline asymmetry?
Chin filler is a procedure that complements a short or receding chin by adding volume.It does not change the structure or occlusion of the jawbone itself. The changes you can expect will vary depending on whether the cause of your chin appearing short is a lack of volume or a problem with the shape of your jawbone.
If your jawline is asymmetrical, please specify during the consultation whether you would like to improve the chin tip or the side chin.
Experience in supplementing the shape of the chin
시술전에는 턱끝과 턱라인이 둥그스름하고 u모양이었다면 시술후에는 보다 v가되고 입꼬리도 올라가고 도톰해져서 좋았어요
Bobby Talk, written on August 24, 2026. Excerpt from chin filler treatment experience English translation: Before the procedure, the tip of my chin and jaw line were round and u-shaped, but after the procedure, they became more v-shaped and the corners of my mouth were raised and plump, which was nice.무턱개선은 잘 된 것 같은데 시술강요가 없진않아요 상담하면서 턱끝만 한다고 했는데 그럼 개선효과가 덜하다해서 3cc 시술받았어요... 시술하고나서 몰딩하고 너무 뾰족한거같다할때 그냥 가서 여기서 최종 기분나빴음
Bobby Talk, written on July 7, 2025, rating 3 points. Excerpt from recommendations for additional capacity and experiences of dissatisfaction with results English translation: It seems like the improvement of the chin has gone well, but there is no pressure to have the procedure. During the consultation, I was told to only do the tip of the chin, but then they said it would not have an improvement effect, so I received a 3cc treatment... After the treatment, when I was told that the molding was too sharp, I just went ahead and felt bad in the end.
How does the procedure actually work?
During your consultation, ask about the desired jaw shape and the product and dosage to be injected. There have been reports of nodules forming after a large amount of filler was injected into one area.
The Waltz Clinic discusses injection volume and nodules associated with chin filler. Ask about the product, volume and touch-up terms during your consultation.

How often do common side effects occur?
After chin filler, swelling, bruising, and pain may occur.In one multicenter study, 30 of 121 participants reported treatment-related adverse events. Most cases were mild or moderate and improved over time.
The filler may clump together and form nodules that can be felt. If the lump is felt or its shape has changed, check its condition at the place where the treatment was performed.
| symptoms | Multicenter study (121 people) reported in 2026 |
|---|---|
| Total treatment-related adverse events | 24.8% (30 people) |
| Symptom level | Mostly mild to moderate, temporary |
Complications that block blood vessels: How rare are they and what are the symptoms?
Although the complication of blood vessel blockage is rare, it is a possibility at all filler injection sites, and the tip of the chin is no exception.Even if a cannula is used, vascular complications cannot be completely prevented, and safety is not guaranteed through aspiration testing alone.
The skin may turn white or purple, and the pain may become unusually severe. The order and timing of symptom appearance may vary from person to person, so do not wait and seek medical attention right away.
- When to seek medical attention right away
- If the pain suddenly gets worse or your skin turns pale or mottled, contact the treating medical staff immediately and receive treatment. If your vision becomes blurry or suddenly worsens, you should seek emergency medical care without delay.
What do I do if the shape is too much or I don’t like it?
For lumps or overcorrection caused by hyaluronic acid filler, treatment to dissolve them can be considered after treatment.In one case, hyaluronidase was injected three months after the nodule appeared, and most of it subsided immediately afterward, disappearing completely after 10 days. Repeat treatment is decided after examining the progress of the relevant area.
Experience of dissolving filler and getting it reapplied
턱끝필러 맞았던게 너무 필러가 무거워져서 ㅜㅜ 차민 성형외과로 필러 녹이러 왔는데 의사선생님이 제 니즈에 맞게 잘 들어주시고 녹이는 주사도 엄청 신경써서 해주셨습니다! 감사합니다:)
Bobby Talk, written on October 22, 2026. Excerpt from experience dissolving filler that felt excessive English translation: I got chin filler because the filler was too heavy. I went to Charmin Plastic Surgery to have the filler dissolved. The doctor listened carefully to my needs and took great care in giving me injections to dissolve it! Thank you :)
What should I follow before and after the procedure?
Please inform us of any medications you are taking before the procedure, and do not press hard or massage the treatment area.If you rush to perform additional procedures before the swelling subsides, the initial swelling may be misunderstood as a lack of filler and may result in overcorrection.
- Medication taken before the procedure
- Inform your medical staff about medications and supplements that thin the blood, such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Whether or not to stop prescribed medication is decided in consultation with the prescribing doctor.
- Information on The Waltz Clinic
- If you are dissatisfied with the appearance after the procedure, ask about the corrective treatment and cost during the consultation.
- Dress Plastic Surgery Clinic Information
- Please note that bleeding, infection, and inflammation after the procedure may vary from person to person, so caution is required.
If this is my situation, what should I check first?
What you will be consulted about first will vary depending on whether only the tip of your chin is short, whether your entire jawline is asymmetrical, and whether you have previous treatment experience.
- If only the tip of the chin is short
- Ask about the amount needed to supplement only the chin, and check it separately from the package price that includes the entire jawline.
- If you are concerned about jaw line asymmetry
- Ask specifically during the consultation whether to design the chin tip or the side chin together and how much to put in at one time.
- If you are worried because it is your first treatment
- If this is your first time, ask about the injection amount that suits the desired change and when additional supplementation is needed.
- If the previous filler looks excessive or lumpy
- Please tell us the product name and treatment date, and decide with the medical staff whether to dissolve it with hyaluronidase and then repeat the treatment.
How to judge the effectiveness and side effects of chin filler?
The maintenance period of chin filler varies depending on the product and skin condition.
If pain worsens or skin color changes after the procedure, seek medical attention immediately. If there is a problem with your vision, seek emergency medical treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Is chin filler permanent?
Fillers that decompose, such as hyaluronic acid, are not permanent. In the study, the effect remained even at 48 weeks, but the maintenance period varies depending on the product and individual differences.
Is it possible to slightly improve just the tip of the chin?
A procedure that only complements the tip of the chin is also possible. Please specify the desired area and degree and confirm the amount to be administered at one time during the consultation.
Why do nodules form?
There have been reports of cases where filler clumped together in one area and formed a lump. If you feel a lump, seek medical attention and tell us what product you used and when the procedure was performed.
Is it okay if there is swelling or bruising?
Swelling and bruising are common after the procedure and are usually mild to moderate. If pain becomes abnormally severe or skin color changes, seek medical attention immediately. If vision problems occur, seek emergency medical treatment.
I'm worried about vascular complications. How can I reduce them?
Tell them about your previous treatment history and products, and ask how the medical staff responds when vascular complications occur. A cannula or aspiration test alone does not eliminate the risk.
If I don't like the shape, can I just melt it down?
For hyaluronic acid fillers, treatment by dissolving them with hyaluronidase may be considered after treatment. Repeat treatment is decided after checking the progress of the melted area.
Can jawline asymmetry be corrected at the same time?
You can supplement the volume of the chin or side chin with filler. The appropriate method varies depending on the cause of the asymmetry.
